    FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE: COMMUNITY IN AUGUST WILSON AND TONY KUSHNER By Copyright 2007 Richard Noggle Ph.D., University of Kansas 2007 Submitted to the Department of English and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ________________________ Chairperson, Maryemma Graham ________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer ________________________ Paul Stephen Lim ________________________ William J. Harris ________________________ Henry Bial Date defended ________________ 2 The Dissertation Committee for Richard Noggle certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE: COMMUNITY IN AUGUST WILSON AND TONY KUSHNER Committee: ________________________ Chairperson, Maryemma Graham ________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer ________________________ Paul Stephen Lim ________________________ William J. Harris ________________________ Henry Bial Date approved _______________ 3 ABSTRACT My study examines the playwrights August Wilson and Tony Kushner as “political” artists whose work, while positing very different definitions of “community,” offers a similar critique of an American tendency toward a kind of misguided, dangerous individualism that precludes “interconnection.” I begin with a look at how “community” is defined by each author through interviews and personal statements. My approach to the plays which follow is thematic as opposed to chronological. The organization, in fact, mirrors a pattern often found in the plays themselves: I begin with individuals who are cut off from their respective communities, turn to individuals who “reconnect” through encounters with communal history and memory, and conclude by examining various “successful” visions of community and examples of communities in crisis and decay.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

  • American Repertory Theater Partners with Creative Action Project and 826 Boston on Podcast Play Series
    For Immediate Release August 6, 2012 Contact: Kati Mitchell 617-496-2000x8841 [email protected] American Repertory Theater partners with Creative Action Project and 826 Boston on Podcast Play Series Cambridge, MA — The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) collaborates this summer with 826 Boston, a not-for-profit writing center based in Roxbury, MA, and Creative Action Project, a program of Cambridge Community Services, on a series of site-specific “podcast plays” designed to creatively engage local teens with public spaces around Greater Boston. A.R.T. teaching artists are leading three-day workshops in Cambridge and in Roxbury, in which groups of teenagers learn about the fundamentals of playwriting, practice collaborative storytelling, and participate in a writing immersion exercise at the Fresh Pond Reservation and Franklin Park, respectively. The young playwrights are challenged to locate a place in the park that inspires them, and then imagine a short play that could happen at that site. The resultant plays are recorded as audio, by a mix of teen playwrights and graduate acting students from the A.R.T./MXAT Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard University. These plays will be uploaded to the A.R.T. website, as well as the Cambridge Water Department and Franklin Park Coalition websites. The A.R.T., with staff from the Cambridge Water Department and the Franklin Park Coalition, is developing a “theatrical walking tour” map for each park, which park-goers can download along with the podcast series and enjoy on their next visit to the Fresh Pond Reservation or Franklin Park.

  • Masterpieces
    MORE MASTERPIECES Robert Brustein n 1967, I wrote a controversial essay called “No More Masterpieces,” in which, following the French radical theorist Antonin Artaud (The Theatre and Its Double) and the Polish critic Jan Kott (Shakespeare Our Contemporary), I argued against Islavish reproduction of classical works. I agreed that we had reached the end of some cycle in staging these plays, that actor-dominated classics, particularly Shakespeare, were beginning to resemble opera more than theatre, with their sumptuous settings, brocaded costume parades, and warbled arias. I believed that modern directors were now obliged to freshen our thinking about classical writers in the same way that modern playwrights (notably O’Neill, Cocteau, Sartre, and T.S. Eliot) were freely revisioning the Greeks. My hope was for approaches that would revitalize familiar works wrapped in a cocoon of academic reverence or paralyzed by arthritic convention. Theatre, being a material medium, was settling too cozily into ostentatious display, disregarding the poetic core of a text, its thematic purpose and inner meaning. One way to avoid this, I thought, was through metaphorical investigation by an imaginative director, in close collaboration with a visionary designer, locating the central image of a play through visual icons and a unified style. This was what Peter Brook was doing with the Royal Shakespeare Company in his revitalized productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (channeling its youthful energies into acrobatics and circus acts) and King Lear (translating its vision of old age and death into a bleak visual vocabulary influenced by Beckett). Such produc- tions were making Shakespeare our contemporary through suggestive associations, bringing audiences a fresh appreciation of classics in danger of dying from hardened stage arteries.
